9. 8litres are draw from a cask full of

ratio of quantity of wine now left in the cask to that of water is 16:65. How
much wine did the cask hold originally?

(A) 18litres

10. What annual installment (in approximate
figure) will discharge a debt of Rs.2000 due in 3 years at 15% simple interest?

3. C – Let the containers contain 3x, 4x and 5x litres of mixture respectively
Milk in first mix= (3x ×4/5)=12x/5 litres
Water in first mix=(3x-12x/5)=3x/5 litres
Milk in second mix=(4x × 3/4) = 3x litres
Water in second mix=(4x-3x)= x litres
Milk in third mix=(5x × 5/7)=25x/7 litres
Water in third mix=(5x-25/7)=10x/7 litres
Total milk in final mix=314x/35 litres
Total water in final mix=106x/35 litres
Required ratio of milk and water=314x/35 : 106x/35=157:53

4. D – let B be closed after x min
Then, part filled by A+B in x min+part filled by A in (18-x)min=1
x(1/48+1/16)+(18-x)×1/48=1
or, x=10

6. A – let the length of the train be x mt and the length of the platform be y mt.
Speed of the train relative to man=54-6=48kmph or 40/3 m/s
In passing a man, train covers its own length with relative speed
So, length of the train =Relative speed × time=40/3 × 12=160 m
Also, speed of the train=54 × 5/18=15m/s
Therefore, x+y/15=20
Or, y=140m

8. B – Since strength of the first jar=40%
Strength of second jar= 19%
Mean strength =26%
So, using the rule of allegation, the ratio between the two quantities is=7:14=1:2
Therefore, required quantity replaced is=2/3

9. B – let the qty of wine in the cask originally be = x litres
Then, quantity of cask left in the wine after 4 operations=[x (1-8/4)^4] litres
Therefore, x (1-8/4)^4/x=16/81 =>x=24
